Ravaillac « Casio DG20, an endearing instrument »
Published on 10/31/13 at 05:51Casio DG20 is a synthesizer / controller as playing a guitar: it has 6 strings and 22 frets handle. On each note lies a sensor that sends a MIDI signal.
It contains 20 patches, 10 rhythms and a non-editable "Sustain / Reverb" effect in the Casiotone style.
The connector consists of a line output and a headphone jack (Jack both) as well as a MIDI Out port.
Polyphony is 6 ratings, of course.
UTILIZATION
Step setup, the area on business or we put the batteries (which weigh the beast) and it's gone! We can also connect headphones or connect the synthesizer to a receiver.
Finally, connect the MIDI Out to the MIDI In of another synthesizer (preferably polyphonic), the DG20 is a controller for such sweeping agreements, and facilitating the use of synthesizers for those who have mastered the guitar better.
Bought used, I did not have the paper manual, but even before receiving the beast, a look at a pdf version quickly made me realize that it would not be very useful to me:. His use is childish.
SOUNDS
In true "Harware Digger" I am, my music is meant to be a mix between "serious" instruments (Guitar, Bass, Synthesizer) and "Synth Toy" (Casiotone, Omnichord and other Bontempi) so I do not have trouble mixing presets the machine to my music and I also use it to control other more professional synthesizers for some solos.
The sounds are not realistic, but it is not really of interest: nothing beats a guitar to play a ... guitar. on the other hand patches are rather well done, I sometimes use the preset guitar to double real guitars, and the preset "Chorus" is interesting when agreements on plate.
OVERALL OPINION
I rode extensively for a month now and I am very satisfied and I had never tried before, but I was informed me on the net, and I looked at similar products (YouRock that the advantage Pitch Bender, but without the charm and sounds of 80's look).
The +:
- Playing with a guitar synthesizer with MIDI Out
- The childish but usable sounds kind Casio
- Ease of use
- A cup of tune
The -:
- No Midi In
- No Pitch Bender
Finally, I find this tool particularly endearing and useful in my setup, but it does not suit all kinds of music, and will be very useful for some who now masters keyboards.
PS: Tame Impala uses this instrument in a Pitchfork session.
